We saw what the offense is capable of the 2nd half against State whose defense is ranked #45 in scoring D.
And the offense played very well against New Mexico too.

Maybe it was because it was their first road game, but the QB and WRs looked like shite in the passing game, so I can't blame it all on Denbrock. But throws to the RBs and throws to our talented WRs on the line of scrimmage need to be called early in the game when a QB's accuracy is an issue early in the game. This was the first game where Daniels' accuracy was significantly off even on some shorter passes. I think our QB and WRs and much better than they played Saturday based on what we've seen and we shouldn't expect that performance to be the norm going forward.

Significantly? Ok, I can go with that but he has consistently been less than precise.
Ball gets within reach/catchable range but is not there in stride, it's a little hi or low, or it's on the wrong side of the receiver's momentum/direction.
And that especially pertains to short passes. Apparently, all that time practicing on his footwork hasn't panned out.

I don’t think the OC or head coach are the problem…this all lands at the feet of Daniels…he goes thru his progressions but he won’t throw unless the rec is WIDE open…he can’t anticipate when they will come open and he definitely won’t throw them open…I don’t think he can see different levels of when a rec is open…have you seen him throw a pass over a LB to an open rec? It doesn’t happen.

Bottom line is Daniels is a good guy, quiet leader and a phenomenal athlete, but he has started and played a TON of games in his career and this is who he is…I don’t expect him to get better and I don’t blame the coaches because he is our best shot to win.
